Tips:
1. Smaller ingredients usually require a shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
2. A larger amount of ingredients will require a longer cooking time.
3. Turning smaller ingredients halfway during the cooking process will provide better cooking
results and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
4. To remove large individual or delicate ingredients from the basket, do not tip them out. Pick them
up with a pair of tongs.
5. Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
6. Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the fryer.
7. Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake/quiche or if you
want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.
8. You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the temperature to
150℃ for up to 10 minutes.
9. For best results with home-made chips, soak the cut chips in water for 30 minutes to remove
excess starch. Dry on kitchen paper and toss in 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil (or lightly spray with
olive oil spray) until the chips are coated.
10. For a crispy home-made coating, mix fine breadcrumbs with a tablespoon of olive oil.
11. Pre-packed snacks like bread crumbed fish or chicken drumsticks only need to be coated lightly
with olive oil.
SETTINGS
To assist with selection of cooking times and maximum basket volumes for specific ingredients, refer
to the COOKING MANUAL section below.
NOTE: Please keep in mind that the cooking manual is indicative and for your reference only.
Variation in size, shapes and brands may require an increase or decrease of cooking time and
temperature setting to achieve the desired and best cooking outcome.
This type of heating technology reheats the air inside the appliance instantly, so pulling the pan briefly
out of the appliance to toss/turn ingredients during cooking will barely disturb the process.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
The fryer doesn’t
work.
The appliance is not
connected to mains power
outlet socket.
Connect the appliance into a mains power outlet
socket.
The ingredients
fried in the fryer are
not done.
The amount of ingredients
in the basket is too high.
Place smaller batches of ingredients in the basket.
Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
The set temperature is too
low.
Set the temperature to the required temperature
setting (refer to the above cooking manual).
The preparation time is too
short.
Set the timer to the required preparation time.
The ingredients are
fried unevenly in the
fryer.
Certain types of ingredients
need to be tossed/turned
halfway during the cooking
process.
Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other
(e.g., fries) need to be tossed/turned halfway
during the cooking process (refer to the cooking
manual).
Fried snacks are not
crispy when they
come out of the
fryer
You used a type of snacks
meant to be prepared in a
traditional deep fryer.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the
snacks for a crisper result.
10
Can’t slide the pan
into the appliance
properly
There are too many
ingredients in the basket.
Do not fill the ingredients over the “MAX” mark
in the basket.
The basket is not placed in
the pan properly.
Push the basket down into the pan until you hear a
‘click’.
White smoke comes
out from the
appliance.
You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the fryer, a
large amount of oil will leak into the pan. The oil
produces white smoke, and the pan may heat up
more than usual. This does not affect the appliance
or the end result.
The pan still contains
grease residues from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the
pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly after
each use.
Fresh chips are fried
unevenly in the
fryer.
You did not use the right
potato type.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure that they stay
firm during frying.
You did not rinse the
potato chips properly
before you fried them.
Rinse the potato chips properly to remove starch
from the outside of the fries.
Fresh chips are not
crispy when they
come out of the
fryer
The crispiness of the chips
depends on the amount of
oil and water in the fries.
Make sure to dry the potato chips properly before
adding the oil.
Cut the potato chips smaller for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crisper result.
